Europe 2010, Day 4: Stockholm

Today’s festivities included a trip into the Old Town, past the palace, to the Nobel museum, dedicated to the prizes awarded in Stockholm instead of Oslo (those other than Peace, in other words).  Had lunch at the chokladkoppen across the square, broccoli and blue cheese quiche and white hot chocolate, of which I greatly approved.

In the afternoon we rode the gondola up the outside of the Ericsson Globe for a panoramic view of the city, then made our way to the Moderna Museet, where we saw an exhibit of the works of Lee Lozano (1930–1999), who the museum assured us explored “themes of power, sexuality, and violence” in her work, which we learned means she painted many, many pictures of penises.
